Acquisition of up to an additional 60 C-17 aircraft with associated data and support equipment is presently being contemplated by ASC/YCKA. Additionally, ASC/YCKA intends to procure the additional C-17 aircraft via Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12 guidelines. This C-17 requirement is a prospective sole source acquisition with McDonnell Douglas Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company. McDonnell Douglas Government Aerospace (MDA), Long Beach CA, is the prime contractor for the full-scale development and production of the C-17 aircraft. Re-procurement data is not available. The purpose of this synopsis is to determine whether any competitive sources exist and to notify industry of the impending action so that possible subcontracting opportunities may be pursued. The Request for Proposal for Lot XVI advance buy is currently anticipated to be released in October 2001. The offeror must: (1) possess management, program assembly, and quality assurance personnel; (2) possess the material, engineering, factory and flight test equipment, physical facilities; (3) be a responsible contractor with demonstrated recent total aircraft system responsibility; (4) be capable of delivering fully qualified aircraft in December 2004; and (5) include in their response to this synopsis evidence of these capabilities.
